1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information when you use Math Mastery:

a. Personal Information

We do not require you to provide personally identifiable information (e.g., name, email address, or phone number) to use the core features of the App.
If you contact us directly (e.g., via email or phone), we may collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, or phone number, to respond to your inquiries or support requests.

Bluetooth (android.permission.BLUETOOTH): Used to enable optional features, such as connecting to Bluetooth devices for audio output (e.g., speakers or headphones) during learning sessions. We do not collect or share any Bluetooth-related data.
Internet (android.permission.INTERNET): Used to check for app updates, load additional content (if applicable), send crash reports, and serve advertisements via AdMob.
Access Network State (android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): Used to determine if your device is connected to the internet, ensuring the App functions correctly when online features or ads are accessed.

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

a. Advertising

Google AdMob: The App integrates Google AdMob to display ads. AdMob may collect and process certain data (e.g., advertising ID, IP address, and usage data) to provide personalized or non-personalized ads based on your preferences and location. This data is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of personalized ads through your device’s advertising settings (e.g., by resetting your advertising ID or disabling personalized ads).

We may share anonymized data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the App (e.g., crash reporting, analytics, or ad-serving services). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information.

c. Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests from public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

d. Business Transfers

If TechCraft Studios is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, but we will notify you of any such change.

4. Data Storage and Security

Storage: Information collected by the App is stored locally on your device. If any data is transmitted (e.g., crash reports or advertising data), it is sent securely to our servers or third-party providers like Google AdMob.
Security: We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Children’s Privacy

Math Mastery is designed to be suitable for users of all ages, including children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. The App uses Google AdMob for advertising, which complies with applicable regulations like the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). However, if we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete it promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at contact@techcraftstudios.com.

6. Your Choices

Permissions: You can manage the App’s permissions through your device settings. Note that disabling certain permissions (e.g., Internet) may limit features like ad display or online content.
Advertising Choices: You can opt out of personalized ads by adjusting your device’s advertising settings (e.g., resetting your advertising ID or disabling personalized ads in Google settings).
Uninstall: If you no longer wish to use Math Mastery, you can uninstall the App from your device, which will stop all data collection.

7. Third-Party Links

The App may contain links to external websites or resources (e.g., for educational content) and advertisements served by Google AdMob. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites or services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before interacting with them.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy in the App or through other reasonable means. Your continued use of the App after such changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
